This afternoon I was suddenly a very to see a stupid idea in the Friday traffic to the work


to go to Eindhoven, just as three bands at night and tired to come back. Fortunately, such attacks reason never keep a long time, so we sat at five in the car and drove to the Cross Linx Festival. The National in the past three or four years growing and become confident to go with this role. Their last album's Violet latest to leave them a fixture not only in the indie scene, which made such nasty consequences such as morning show Ankumpeleien Cherno Jobatey with it. Far less nasty, but also a result of the growing popularity are headlining at festivals like this post, in which the audience was not just the indie audience Haldern a weekend, but the interest in culture scene Eindhoven. In the huge room were certainly many who had never previously heard of The National. And that's exactly what the charm of the festival.
We had initially reflexively called into one of the first rows of the floor area (Who was not in this room, provided it was probably the plane


orchestra pit, and the people in the first rows of seats saw at least from the band nothing), but then considered that there could be new and exciting to be much to set up and to have drunk from the acoustics of the concert hall. This we did, finally sat five feet above the console and should soon find out that the decision was stupid. The National play any music for classical concert hall, they do not even chimes in the program. * The Americans play rock music. Efterklang or Owen Pallett before - that would have been obvious a loud band in such a room is really a waste (of the room). But this is nonsense, of course, The National work well everywhere, it is only important that they sound harsh and less produced. And so it was, even if that's not necessarily from the beginning

noticed, because as with Runaway and Anyone's ghost came two quieter pieces. Both tracks sounded excellent in the stunningly good acoustics of the hall. It was like using earphones. The strength of the combination of The National / Muziekgebouw did not come until the third song Brainy their own: the gegrummelte of singer Matt Berninger chorus in crystal-clear sound, that was something very special! And it went so on ... Squalor Victoria with the outbreaks of front man, my favorite Slow show or Apartment Story Fake Empire Mr. November but Terrible Love of the current album - raw, as in small buggy backyard clubs but with the brilliant acoustics of a hall, which made for Classical Orchestra been, which is made very much sense, and above all, fun! to Wasp's Nest, the play of the 2004 Cherry Tree EP, appeared on Owen Pallett

stage. In its concert of Canadians had signed for it, go to a parallel to The National held appearance, which led me to the conclusion , he did not like the Americans. Apparently a fallacy: Matt Berninger introduced him as before "our friend Owen Pallett" , then played the violin in some songs, but very discreetly in the background. The concert was musically outstanding, because there is nothing to discuss. The brilliant sound we had sacrificed the real concert feeling you can make quite a time. Mainly because we were late then still in the middle. With the additions decency, as Mr. November, the singer climbed into the audience. This is old hat if you have already seen the tape. Matt had but now especially lots of exercise, and he took advantage. He continued higher up and sang (and screamed) at the end of one of the Balconies very high. Unfortunately, the door led to the balcony not return directly to the stage, so had to the American

consider something else: he scrambled forward over the railing down by a huge gap of a few meters of wall and a entlanghangelte narrow way - the secret brother of Lara Croft. It went well, so we'll see even more great shows this band. addition to the band of
"that guy with the Nazi haircut"
** The National is certainly the best big Act, which one might see at the moment, if you have good taste in music.
